What Customers Are Saying
The composite decking is praised for its sturdy construction, attractive appearance, and easy installation. Customers highlight the product's durability, resistance to weathering, rot, and splinters as significant upgrades from traditional wood decking. The color options are well-received, though some wished for a wider selection. While the initial cost is higher, the long-term benefits and low maintenance make it a worthwhile investment. The hidden fastener system is appreciated for creating a clean, seamless look. However, some customers reported issues with damaged or bent boards, and the material can be prone to scratches.

Great replacement for old wooden deck boards
Would RecommendThe product is a great replacement for my old wooden deck boards.

It always looks new and fresh, requires no upkeep.

Holds up and keeps it natural 😌 Toasted Sand really knows how to deliver. Kindly, Brandi -Trex Customer Care
Ask for 12 footers until they agree to stock them.
Would RecommendI really like this product, but I needed 12 foot boards and could not get this type of trex board in 12 foot lengths. I wasted several feet of board because of the problem.
